EPAS MATRIX for Advanced Practice Behaviors in Macro Social Work Advanced Practice in Macro Social Work MSW/ACOSA - EPAS MATRIX for Advanced Practice Behaviors in Macro Social Work and A Resource for Building Curriculum Language for Macro Practice Based on MSW/ACOSA Competencies 1 Advanced Practice and the 2008 EPAS The 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) outlines 10 core competencies that are common to all of social work practice. Advanced practice “incorporates all of the core competencies augmented by knowledge and practice behaviors specific to a concentration" (M2.2, p.8). The 2008 EPAS was passed with the understanding that CSWE would work with the education community to create resources for programs in the development of knowledge and practice behaviors specific to competencies for advanced practice. Some of these resources are now available. Other resources are currently in development and will be posted as they are finalized. The statuses of known projects are listed below. For more information about any of these projects, please contact Jessica Holmes. Note: These documents are not mandated. They are offered only as examples and are intended to serve as resources. Available Guides Trauma The trauma-informed social work practice guide was developed by a task force of 40 practitioners and faculty members under the leadership of co-chairs Virginia Strand (Fordham University) and Robert Abramovitz (Hunter College). The final guide, Advanced Social Work Practice in Trauma (PDF) was published in fall 2012. Clinical Social Work The clinical social work project was led by University of Houston, Saint Catherine University/University of Saint Thomas, and Smith College. The group held its first meeting in August 2009; programs with a clinical social work concentration were invited to participate in the process. A final product, Advanced Practice in Clinical Social Work (PDF), is now available. Gerontology The gerontology project is being led by the CSWE Gero-Ed Center. The final product, Advanced Gero Social Work Practice Guide (PDF), is now complete and includes course and evaluation resources. Military Social Work Cosponsored by the University of Southern California School of Social Work's Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families, this guide (PDF) defines the specialized knowledge and skills that social work practitioners need to effectively serve military personnel, veterans, and their families, as well as noncombatant uniformed service members. Prevention of Substance Use Disorders The prevention project is now complete, and the final product, Advanced Practice in the Prevention of Substance Use Disorders (PDF), is available online. A print copy also can be requested by sending an e-mail to Jessica Holmes. 2 Introduction This document is intended to help faculty in a range of programs to identify language useful for course objectives, learning modules, and research proposals for building knowledge in community organization and social administration. The Association of Community Organization and Social Administration (ACOSA) began work to identify macro practice knowledge and skills in 1997. That work concluded in the development of “A Resource for Building Curriculum Language for Macro Practice based on MSW/ACOSA Competencies.” There is considerable overlap between the 50 items identified in “A Resource for Building Curriculum Language” and the CSWE 2008 EPAS competencies. For example, it incorporates all the competencies identified in EPAS 2.1.2, 2.1.4, 2.1.5, 2.1.8, and 2.1.10, and parts of others. However, this resource is framed using macro processes identified in the Journal of Community Practice, and is focused on social work with communities, organizations, social and economic planning groups, and policy practice and advocacy organizations. As part of their 1997 strategic planning efforts, members of ACOSA began work to develop advanced level macro practice knowledge and skills. It was assumed that the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) provides guidelines for the foundation curriculum. However, in order to help schools of social work with curricula relating to community organization, policy practice, administration and management, social planning, community development, and organizational leadership, it was important to identify competencies for these advanced areas. The ACOSA leadership took as its guiding framework for this work the community practice processes identified as themes in the ACOSA sponsored journal, The Journal of Community Practice. These process themes in the early stages of the work were organizing, planning, development, and change. By 2005, members working on the macro competencies had modified the process themes to be organizing, planning, collaboration, sustainable development and progressive change. The knowledge items that formed the basis for the competencies had grown to 50 items (Weil, M., Gamble, D. N., & MacGuire, E., 2010). The faculty and staff working on the revision of the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards for CSWE were working in a parallel activity. Their work culminating in EPAS 2008 identified ten core competencies with “measurable practice behaviors that are comprised of knowledge, values, and skills” (EPAS 2008, Educational Policy 2.1). ACOSA leader Tracy Soska, working with the faculty, alumni, and the practice community in the Pittsburgh area, developed a set of macro competencies framed by the ten competencies outlined in CSWE’s EPAS 2008. Soska and his colleagues did this work in preparation for the reaffirmation of the educational program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work. That work is represented in the table identified as “MSW/ACOSA - EPAS Matrix for Advanced Practice Behaviors in Macro Social Work.” Both the “Resource for Building Curriculum Language” and the “MSW/ACOSA - EPAS Matrix” were shared with the ACOSA membership on-line and at the Portland, Oregon Annual Program Meeting on October 15, 2010. They were also sent to CSWE personnel with a request for suggestions and comments. Both 3 documents reflect changes suggested by the ACOSA membership, macro practice teaching faculty, and CSWE in these exchanges (Gamble, 2011; Gamble & Soska, 2013). Understanding that these two tables have different frames, and complementary but different uses, both sets of macro competencies were adopted by the ACOSA Board of Directors in January 11, 2011. They have been published in the Journal of Community Practice and in the Encyclopedia of Social Work Online. Gamble, D. N.

Austin, PhD ABSTRACT. With the advent of welfare reform and managed care, the nature of managerial practice has increasingly shifted from a primary fo- cus on internal operations to a more external, community focus which in- volves actively monitoring and managing the boundary between the external environment and internal organizational arrangements. This ar- ticle explores the boundary spanning aspects of community practice, the related theories of inter-organizational relations, and the process of “managing out” by those in top management and middle management posi- tions in human service organizations.

  • Community Organizing: Practice, Research, and Policy Implications ∗ Brian D
    Social Issues and Policy Review, Vol. 9, No. 1, 2015, pp. 193--222 Community Organizing: Practice, Research, and Policy Implications ∗ Brian D. Christens University of Wisconsin–Madison Paul W. Speer Vanderbilt University Community organizing—a field of practice in which residents collaboratively in- vestigate and undertake sustained collective action regarding social issues of mutual concern—has often proven an effective method for achieving changes in policies and systems at local, regional, and even national scales. The field is dynamic. It has expanded and has undergone numerous changes over re- cent decades. Research from a variety of disciplines has documented, evalu- ated, and informed many of these changes. This article scrutinizes the evolv- ing field of community organizing, with a particular focus on the current state of social and psychological research on broad-based community orga- nizing processes and outcomes. These findings include not only the effects of community organizing efforts on policies and systems, but also the influences of community organizing on psychological changes among the people and groups who participate. These findings are incorporated into recommendations for poli- cies, practices, and future research. Introduction Community organizing is an umbrella term for a field of practice in which residents collaboratively investigate and take collective action regarding social issues of mutual concern. Most often, the intent of organizing is to change policies regarding local issues, which have included, for instance: improvements in public safety (Speer et al., 2003), housing (Speer & Christens, 2012), employment con- ditions (Osterman, 2006), transportation (Speer, Tesdahl, & Ayers, 2014), public ∗ Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Brian D.

SUBURBANOMICS: CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION AT THE EDGE Originally presented at the Future Development of Suburbs Lecture Series: International Approaches, Ideas and Experiences combined with National Knowledge, Helsinki, Finland December 2011 Abstract The basis of this paper is that we have prioritised the city centre and its planning sometimes to the impoverishment of the “suburbs” or outlying areas, despite the fact that most of us live there. Away from the headline projects at the city’s core with its appropriation of architecture to the experience economy and the interests of tourism and retail, there is evidence of creativity and innovation in outlying neighbourhoods, estates and suburbs. Using an expanded range of references from urbanism to service design, cultural studies and environmental writing, Glasgow is taken as a case in point because its large-scale post-industrial regeneration through the use of architecture to brand cultural festivals and centres, is perceived to have overshadowed interesting projects at the periphery.
